Is it to be counted towards the grain category? What's the serving size? Thanks!

That's what I thought. It's one of my favorite old comfort foods. But, luckily, I like steel cut oats now.

I bought an off-brand of oatmeal and the ingredients are 100% rolled oats, but on the front of the can, it says "Quick" Oats Cereal. The total fat is 2.5 g with 4 g of fiber and 5 g of protein. Is this okay? They were out of my usual Quaker Oats. Thanks.

Sorry, only "old fashioned" long cooking oats are South Beach friendly.
